Perspectives et stratégies de dessalement des eaux de mer en Algérie. Quelques exemples Algériens

Abstract

Faced with the inequitable distribution of drinking water on the planet and the effects of rising temperatures and the consequences of global warming in the form of drought and water shortages, demand for seawater desalination has increased in recent years. Due to demographic development and the concentration of the population in the same area where human activity is increasing, Algeria has experienced a period of severe and persistent drought in recent years, characterised by a significant rainfall deficit throughout the country. This problem prompted us to carry out a study on seawater desalination, using the Ténès and Mostaganem seawater desalination plant as an example. This study focuses on the seawater desalination process by studying distillation and reverse osmosis, taking into account the impact on environmental safety, and considering better solutions with new cost-effective seawater desalination solutions needed to mitigate this phenomenon.
